Racket's documentation isn't something I've ever heard criticized. It's extensive, well-written, and even has various formats for users at different levels of familiarity. I don't think I've run into another language whose documentation gave me as much confidence.

I would say that racket has one of the best tutorials ever made for any language. Specially with the reduced versions inside DrRacket. Also some books like How to Design Programs.

How to Design Programs is maybe my all time favorite programming book. BUT it is incredibly dense and you can't go to it for your first book. Realms of Racket is a good one though.
